Book Cover & Preview Text
CONMASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE A big hurrah for GFC protestors in Zaragosa Spain Too big to fail, we've heard it before Not that it ever rang true any more. Greed is good satiated porkers raged Good for whom it was best left unsaid. You're worth what money one's got; not a cent more and then guess what? A bomb went off. News came and everyone was broke. Whoosh! In a cloud of derivatives, CFDs and funny smoke, , help bail us out, cries of distress echoed far and loud, It brought in taxpayers, billions of dollars rescue about. From authorities to be not a word of censure to be reported, Take your pick hombre, in cohorts, too dumb or just sedated. Reporters well house trained not to upset the order And ask silly questions none wants to answer Zeroed in on who slept with whom; trivia daly dose, pap and useless drivel to fill the peak hour and ever so. So where did the dinero vanish I hear you say, Well the men from Mars came and took it away. .
